For nearly 90 years, our mission has remained the same: to improve lives through tax policies that lead to greater economic growth and opportunity. Our vision is a world where the tax code doesnât stand in the way of success. Every day, our team of trusted experts strives towards that vision by remaining principled, insightful, and engaged and by advancing the principles of sound tax policy: simplicity, neutrality, transparency, and stability. What We Do: Research Our Center for Federal Tax Policy, Center for State Tax Policy, and Center for Global Tax Policy each produce timely and high-quality research and analysis that influences the debate toward economically principled tax policies. Our experts are continuously analyzing the dayâs most relevant tax policy topics and are relied upon rout
58inely for presentations, testimony, and media appearances on tax issues spanning every level of government. Data Providing journalists, taxpayers, and policymakers with basic data on taxes and spending has been a cornerstone of the Tax Foundationâs educational mission since its founding. As we wrote in our first edition of Facts & Figures in 1941, âFacts give a broader perspective; facts dissipate predilections and prejudicesâ¦[and are] an important step to meet the challenge presented by the broad problems of public finance.â Education Tax Foundationâs TaxEDU was launched to address the growing lack of tax literacy in our classrooms, living rooms, and government chambers. TaxEDU combines the best aspects of cutting-edge and traditional educational platforms to elevate the debate, enable deeper understanding, and achieve better, more principled tax policy. Tax Modeling The Tax Foundationâs Center for Economic Analysis takes a quantitative approach to analyzing federal tax policies and proposals using our Taxes and Growth (TAG) macroeconomic model.","legalName":"Tax Foundation","foundingDate":"1937-12-05","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"11","maxValue":"50"}}]}</script>
